Avoid Aliexpress via Paypal. All, yes ALL, transactions are being processed by Paypal as cash advance! Resulting in Credit Card Issuer inflicting a cash advance transaction fee + accrual of daily interest as high as 28% APR! No way to resolve and all three companies (CC, AE & Paypal) will circle jerk the finger pointing of who is responsible with no solution. Reddit is exploding with many customers getting hit with these fees in the tune of 10's and even 100's of dollars. Avoid!!!

Paying the balance early in Pay Monthly won't violate the terms.

Remove your PayPal account from eBay payment first. Now after making a purchase, it will redirect you to PayPal, pick 'pay in 4' from there.

Finally showed the pending points once the charge hit the card.

For some reason it says 29000 pending which is a full 20% of my purchase. So more than the expected 25000
Did you choose 'pay in 4' or 'pay monthly'? Which store? Credit card used? Purchase amount? Thanks, in advance.

I have no idea what is going on but the pending points on my $2014.xx purchase are 40298! 😮 Not sure if it's a glitch or if maybe I qualified for a different higher cap or non-capped promo. Anyone else here experience the same?
Same here. Good luck

So I see that people got points pending for both gift card and property tax. Excluded "Stored value card" same as gift card? Is property tax excluded somehow in the fine print?

Anyone know if you need to unfreeze your 3 credit agency accounts to allow for the soft check?

Check the activity tab?
Thanks, did check the activity tab just now, it shows the transaction pending but not points pending. It also shows two transactions, one for the full price of the item and another for the pay in 4.

Up to $1250 spend is per transaction. Reads to me as if it can be used multiple times. This is going to be quite good - like almost as good as the Bing 30% cashback from way back when.Edit: Sounds like it's total spend of $1250, but can be spread across multiple purchases. Still pretty darned great!
It is max of $1250 per transaction. You can get multiple of this.

Questions:
can we use a chase card? Terms say no but sounds like people are using them.
can we pay off the loan in full after?
can we change the payment method during the loan?

Each person has a limit on how much credit they have allotted to them by Paypal. For example some people have $1500 they can spend total. It's not multiple numbers of $1250 transactions.

"Eligible Purchases do not include: ... (4) purchases made at a merchant who enrolled in Pay Later within 30 days prior to the start of the promotion"
Doesn't this rule out eBay?

I checked my Chase credit card that ties to my PayPal account for $22 purchase on 11/16 from AliExpress, and yes, the transaction is coded as cash advance! Screw PayPal! I haven't seen any fees yet since the charge is still on pending but it definitely doesn't look good!
I wonder if this is only for using credit cards via PayPal. Here it looks like you're using their buy now pay later product, which hopefully won't be coded as a cash advance. I'm too chicken to try though because of the hassle to deal with Ali and PayPal.

I bet this will be coded as cash advance. There's a long thread about AliExpress and PayPal on Reddit.https://www.reddit.com/r/Aliexpress/s/vREh71977I

Would this work at Cricket Wireless if it's giving me the Pay Later option?
